The Original Real-Vodka Seltzer
High Noon built its name on one idea — "Real Vodka. Real Juice. Gluten Free. No Added Sugar" — and the watermelon flavor is the one that put backyard coolers on the map. Unlike malt-based seltzers, every can is built on actual vodka distilled from Midwest corn, carbonated sparkling water, and real watermelon juice with natural flavors. The brand took home Tasting Panel Magazine's "Best Tasting Seltzer" in both 2020 and 2021 and was crowned the #1 spirits brand by volume in 2023.

Tasting Notes
Bright and thirst-quenching. The brand describes the watermelon profile as complex — both red and green watermelon character — over a crisp, lively sparkling base. No cloying malt sweetness, no artificial aftertaste: just clean vodka, real juice, and hard bubbles. At 100 calories and 4.5% ABV, it drinks like sparkling watermelon water with a grown-up kick.
How to Enjoy
Serve ice cold — straight from the can over a pool day, or poured over crushed ice with a fresh watermelon wedge and a squeeze of lime. It is the default cooler-case crowd-pleaser for barbecues, beach days, and anywhere glass is not an option. Keep the four-pack chilled and drink within the season for peak fizz.
